Kumamoto City Hall, Municipal administration center in Chuo Ward, Kumamoto, Japan

Kumamoto City Hall is the main municipal building in the Chuo Ward of Kumamoto, housing administrative offices and public service counters for residents. The building sits in the city center and is easy to spot from the surrounding streets.

Kumamoto was incorporated as a city on 1 April 1889, and its first city hall opened on 1 June 1889 in Shinnan-Senchibata. A second hall was completed in Tedorihonmachi on 15 December 1923, and the third and current main building was completed on 4 November 1981. The entrance of the 1923 hall was reconstructed in Takahashi Park in 1993.

The name Kumamoto City Hall dates from 1889, when the city was incorporated and the office opened on 1 June. Since 1 April 2012, when Kumamoto became a designated city, the ground-floor counters have been run by the Chuo Ward Office, and ward offices and community centres (machizukuri centres) serve the other districts.

The building is open on weekdays during office hours and is easy to reach on foot from the city center. The ground floor has an information desk that can help visitors with questions about the city, not just administrative matters.

The former Hanabata annex, diagonally across from the main hall, was completed in 1936 as the Kumamoto Local Savings Bureau and was selected by DOCOMOMO Japan in 2016 as a modern movement building. Its four-storey extension was damaged in the April 2016 earthquake and the building was demolished in 2017.
